Elaborate 'Pageantry' Planned
By Boxley, Carpenter; Both
Sides Confident Of Victory
Oct. 31.—In a post season class-ic
the Officers of the Guard will
meet the Officers of the Day on
Alumni Field on December 1, the
Saturday of the Thanksgiving
Hops. Such a contest will bring to
a fitting close the gridiron hostili-ties
of Thanksgiving week. The
game this year is to be a revival of
an ancient custom that has flour-ished
long at V. M. I., but which
has been allowed, since the game
ox 1931, to lapse.
Mammoth Spectacle
All indications point to a mam-moth
spectacle on the day of the
game. There is a more than keen
rivalry in the ranks of the two
contestants for the day promises
to hold not only physical but also
social rivalry.
The plans, which are merely ten-tative
at present, call for a review
of the rats to precede the clash
and for the crowning and honoring
of a queen and her court. Such
pageantry is unprecedented in the
annals of the memorable event, and
promises to set a standard that
will be hard to eclipse at any time
in the future by any set of First
Class warriors who may aspire to
do so.
Queen Chosen
The rats are to be marched on
the field to the strains of a march
put forth by a band of such pro-portions
and accomplishments as
to bring back the shade of Sousa.
The battalion will be officiated by
men whose military accomplish-ments
have as yet been unrecog-nized.
The queen of the function will
be chosen for her personality and
charm by representatives accept-able
to the warring factions. She
will be drawn onto the field be-fore
the game in an equipage fit-ting
to her rank and station. Her
court will be composed of maidens
of equal pulchritude and regal
bearing.
Boxley Confident
There has been some little dis-cussion
about the eligibility of
various players due to the fact
that some of the privates are in-cluded
on the 0. D. roster. The
situation has been largely straight-ened
out through mutual agree-ment
of the leaders of the O. G.'s
and the O. D.'s, Boxley and Car-penter.
Boxley, president of the 0. G.'s,
says, "Certainly we'll beat them.
The objection to the playing of
certain of the privates for the 0.
D.'s was simply a matter of prin-ciple
The privates must all be
$tog< ther, not through need for any
further strength, but for the spirit
of the organization. Such an in-tangible
asset must not be allowed
to fall into the discard through
any form of dissension. All are
advised to place their bets on the
privates and to give twelve points

W. & L., Va. Advance
Dances; Avoid Conflict
Nov. 2.—During the past
week announcement made
of some rather unusual chang-es
as to the time at which some
of the neighboring colleges will
have their Thanksgiving dances.
The University of Virginia
Cotillion Club will hold its dance
set on Friday and Saturday
nights before Thanksgiving and
as one Roanoke paper express-es
it "will avoid conflict with
the elaborate V. M.I. hops."
Washington and Lee Thanksgiv-ing
dances have been advanced

Co. "D" Takes
Drill Honors
C And A Companies 'Right On
Heels' Of Winner; Work Is
Better Than Daily Routine
Nov. 3.—"Very Good," was the
general opinion expressed today by
the regular army officers detailed
at the Institute in connection with
tho appcarance of the corps at the
first competitive drill last Thurs-day
which was won by "D" com-pany.
"D" company won the drill with
r. score of 45.01, followed by the
other companies in order with only
e. small variance of score as fol
lows: "C" company, 46.00; "A"
company, 44.90; "B" company
44.26; "F" company, 44.21; "E"
company, 42.95.
Nash Comments
Captain John Nash, U. S. A.;
F. A., announced that the compet
itive drill was so far superior to
the daily drill that he believes since
the corps has shown what it can
do under stress, this grade of ex-cellence
s h o u l d be retained
throughout the regular drill and
parade periods. His chief criti-cism
of the companies in general
was the turning of heads and eyes
while in ranks, none of which ap-peared
in the competitive drill,, but
which he intends to take steps-to
remedy and bring up to competi-tive
drill standards.

Nov. 2j—An active Cadet Vestry
was today formed at V. M. I. This
body will take an active part in
the affairs of the Episcopal church
and will function in conjunction
with the Senior Vestry.
Cadets at V. M. I. have probably
heard very little concerning an
Episcopal Church- Junior Vestry.
However, the Junior Vestry is not
a new organization. Alumni tell
interesting stories of its functions
in past years and have asked con-tinually
why the body has been
•xtinct in the las few years. No
one se med able to answer this
•uestion and so Mr. Wright, rector
of the Episcopal Church, decided
:o attempt, to reorganize the Ves-try.
With his guidance and help
this has been done.
Twelve Men Chosen
With the assistance of Captain
McCarthy, twelve men were chosen
from the church detail as possible
members of the Vestry. Six of
this number were chosen from the
First Class, three from the Second
Class, two from the Third Class,
and one from the Fourth Class.
This group was invited to a dinner
y Mr. Wright. At the dinner the
idea of reorganizing was approach-ed
and heartily approved by all. It
was decided that the Vestry should
' e composed of those twelve men
originally appointed by Mr. Wright
with the help of certain First
Classmen. This group consists of
Holt, Meem, Evans, Little, Carper,
ind Hancock, from the First Class;
Culpepper, Brooke, G. M., and Pow-ell
from the Second Class; Davalos
and Brooke, T. V., from the Third
Clnss, and Weightman from the
Fourth Class. Mr. Wright then
explained that the officers of the
Vestry were Senior Warden, Jun-or
Warden, and Secretary and
Treasurer. It was decided that
the Senior Warden should be taken
from the First Class, the Junior
Warden from the Second, and the
Secretary and Treasurer from Hie
Third. An election was held and
.ho following are the results: Holt
vas elected Senior Warden; Cul-pepper,
J u n i o r Warden, and
Brooke, T. V., Secretary and Treas-urer.
Oct. 29j—Edgar Jones, a lather,
employed in the construction of the
/new mess hall, was injured today
when he fell from a scaffold on
which he was working.
Fractures Pelvis
The accident occurred about 11
a. m., when he attempted to step
down upon the frame scaffold from
which he was to work. The boards
of the walk-way broke under his
weight and he fell some sixteen
i'eet to the concrete floor beneath.
He was hurried at once to the
Stonewall Jackson Hospital in Lex-ington
where an examination dis-closed
that his injuries included in
addition to severe shock a frac-tured
pelvis.
Resident of Baltimore
Latest reports from the hospital
are to the effect that the injured
man is improving satisfactorily.
Jones, a resident of Baltimore,
Maryland, was employed by the
Hickman Plastering Co. of Greens-boro,
N. C., at the time of the
accident.
Change In Award
Of Medal Is Made
French Mathematics Medal To
Be Given For Pure Math
Harvard-Yale Feud On Again As 3000
Copies of Harvard Lampoon Disappear
Nov. 1.—Harvard and Yale are
it it again. And this time it ap-pears
that Yale is the master of
the situation.
The "situation" involves 3,000
pepies of the Harvard Lampoon's
"Kiss and Make Up" issue, special-ly
printed for distribution tomor-row
on the eve of the Harvard-—
Princeton game which marks th^
resumption of football relations be-tween
the two universities.
Yale Suspected
Yale is suspected of a part in
the proceedings since the maga-zine
suddenly disappeared from the
Cambridge office of the Lampoon
. nd represented about half of the
entire edition. Editors of the Yale
Record, ask> d about the matter and
accused of taking the magazines
replied by saying: "We haven't
orgotten Handsome Dan."
On Way To Yale
Handsome Dan, pedigreed bull-dog
which was highly revered by
Yale students was carried off by
Harvard Lampoon editors last year.
Latest reports are to the effect
that a determined group of Har-vard
students are on their way to
the Yale campus tonight.
Nov. 2.—The Academic Board at
its last meeting held today, ap-proved
the recommendations sub-mitted
for its consideration by a
special committee appointed to de-termine
the method of awarding
the French medal in mathematics.
These recommendations were as
follows:
1. That the award be made on
the basis of pure mathematics. The
applications of mathematics to
puysics, modern chemistry, civil
engineering, electrical engineernig
and mechanics are so general that
the selection of one or two topics
of applied mathematics for inclu-sion
with pure mathematics seems
arbitrary and unjustifiable.
Eligibility
2. That all members of a grad-uating
class who are graduated be
eligible to receive the medal.
3. That the cadets be encouraged
io take the more advanced courses
iiy weighting grades as indicated
uelow:
(a) Those taking only two (2)
years of mathematics be given the
grade Mathematics 4B times 1 plus
Mathematics 3 times two over
.three.
(b) Those taking two and one-half
(2V6) years of mathematics
Mathematics 4B times one plus
Mathematics 3 times two plus
Mathematics 2R times 1.05 over
four.
Three Years
(c) Those taking three (3) years
of mathematics, Mathematics 4B
times one plus Mathematics 3
times two plus Mathematics 2A
times 1.05 plus Mathematics 2B
times 1.10 over five.
(d) A cadet entering the third
class with advanced standing to be
assigned a grade in Mathematics
4B which will give him the same
stand in Mathematics 4B among
those with whom he was compet-ing
in Mathematics 3 as he made
in Mathematics 3.
(e) A cadet entering the second
class with advanced standing to be
assigned a grade in Mathematics
3 which will give him the same
stand in Mathematics 3 among
those with whom he was compet-ng
in Mathematics 2A as he made
in Mathematics 2A. The grade
to be assigned for Mathematics
4B would then be obtained as in-dicated
in paragraph 3(d).
V. M. I. To Assist
City Of Lexington
Groups Of Upper Classmen
To Aid Engineer, Water D.
Nov. 3.—-The V. M. I. has ex-tended
to the City of Lexington,
the use of different groups of up-per-
classmen to aid the City En-gineer
and the Water Supply sys-em,
during the past week.
Two Groups Work
Two groups are now at work
helping out the local administra-tion
in various phases of technical
problems. The FERA administra-tion,
here at the Institute, has
detailed a group of first class Vivil
men headed by C. E. Thurston to
aid Mr. Hugh Rice in re-mapping
tho city's sanitation system. The
group besides Thurston, contains
Travis, and Arnold, T. S. These
men will start, in the near future,
.o work on the city water system
in the field. Helping out at the
plant and along the water lines, as
the City Engineer needs them. El-liott
and Heath are testing Lex-ington
City Water here at the In-stitute
in order to maintain an ac-curate
chemical and biological
check on the operation of the filter
and pumping system.
Redraft Plans
In addition to the FERA men
working on the City problems, Car-rier
and Luck, two of the second
class civil men have been detailed
as draftsmen to Mr. Rice. Both
of these men are working on re-drafting
the city water supply blue
print plans. They completed the
.equired courses in drawing last
year and are engaged in this work
(Continued on page eight)
in place of their regular drawing
courses.
Both of these projects are well
worth notice, from more than one
standpoint. The men involved are

Annual Northern Virginia
Dance Will Be In Orange
Nov. 3.—Clivie Boxley, spokes'
man for the Northern Virginia
Club, announced today that the
club's annual Christman dance
would be held in Orange, Virginia,
on or around the twenty-seventh
ol December. The dances have al-ways
been very popular both with
the general public and the Keydets
and it is hoped that the one this
year will be just as good. Last
ear, the affair was held in Fred-ericksburg,
with the Commanders
providing the music. Boxley said
that a good orchestra will be pro-vided
this year also. The dance
will be informal.
Officers for the club have not
yet been elected.
Nov. 3.—V. M. I. came into its
own today at Norfolk by taking a
deserved game from the William
and Mary Indians, 13-6. The Key-dets
played a hard brand of foot-ball
to outplay the Indians as the
statistics indicate. This was the
first win over William and Mary
in three years and Captain Jack
Zimmerman and the other mem-bers
of the team played 60 minut >s
of "heads-up" football to take the
game. Meredith Urick and Wayt
Clark, Roanoke boys, did all of the
V. M. I. scoring. Urick scored for
the Big Red Team shortly after
the game had started. It threw
the host of V. M. I. supporters
into spasms of enthusiasm and
gave the V. M. I. team a start
which they held for the rest of
the period.
Rough Game
The score was evened up as
Travers, a brother of the V. M. I.
"Stumpy" tallied for the Indians
during the second period. When
the third period was under way,
Clark made some nice runs to re-taliate
for the Squadron and give
the team its first victory of the
season. This hard plugging elev-en
had the game coming to them
tor they have played inspired foot-ball
all season, not letting down at
all although the breaks have been
igainst them for the past few
games. It was a r o u g h game
throughout, and the officials let
many penalties slide by which
should have been inflicted.
Urick Plunges Over
It took exactly one minute and
a half for the Squadron to score
in the first quarter. Charlie Han-cock's
opening kick was fumbled
by Yerkes on the Indian 15 yard
mark and Johnny Penn recovered
l'or V. M, I. on the William and
Mary 21 marker. It was then
•Urick came forth to show
some fine ball toting by carryiny
the ball twenty-one yards in four
tries to tally. On the fourth try
he dived over center for the re-maining
yard. The try for extra
point by Hancock was wide. For
p. great part of the opening quar-ter
the pigskin was in Indian ter-litory,
although neither team was
able deeply to invade the terri-tory
of the other. Puffy Coleman
recovered a fumble of Bryant's
but the Keydets couldn't gain much
ground at that time. Bo-Bo Penn
stopped short a potential Indian
invasion when he intercepted Bry-ant's
pass on the V. M. I. 46 yard
stripe as the first quarter term-inated.
Indians Score
Before the second period had
progressed very far, the Keydets
had driven deeply into William and
Mary ground. Bo McMillin passed

the City Engineer needs them. El-liott

Redraft Plans
In addition to the FERA men
working on the City problems, Car-rier
and Luck, two of the second
class civil men have been detailed
as draftsmen to Mr. Rice. Both
of these men are working on re-drafting
the city water supply blue
print plans. They completed the
.equired courses in drawing last
year and are engaged in this work

in place of their regular drawing
courses.
Both of these projects are well
worth notice, from more than one
standpoint. The men involved are

Annual Northern Virginia
Dance Will Be In Orange
Nov. 3.—Clivie Boxley, spokes'
man for the Northern Virginia
Club, announced today that the
club's annual Christman dance
would be held in Orange, Virginia,
on or around the twenty-seventh
ol December. The dances have al-ways
been very popular both with
the general public and the Keydets
and it is hoped that the one this
year will be just as good. Last
ear, the affair was held in Fred-ericksburg,
with the Commanders
providing the music. Boxley said
that a good orchestra will be pro-vided
this year also. The dance
will be informal.
Officers for the club have not
yet been elected.
Nov. 3.—V. M. I. came into its
own today at Norfolk by taking a
deserved game from the William
and Mary Indians, 13-6. The Key-dets
played a hard brand of foot-ball
to outplay the Indians as the
statistics indicate. This was the
first win over William and Mary
in three years and Captain Jack
Zimmerman and the other mem-bers
of the team played 60 minut >s
of "heads-up" football to take the
game. Meredith Urick and Wayt
Clark, Roanoke boys, did all of the
V. M. I. scoring. Urick scored for
the Big Red Team shortly after
the game had started. It threw
the host of V. M. I. supporters
into spasms of enthusiasm and
gave the V. M. I. team a start
which they held for the rest of
the period.
Rough Game
The score was evened up as
Travers, a brother of the V. M. I.
"Stumpy" tallied for the Indians
during the second period. When
the third period was under way,
Clark made some nice runs to re-taliate
for the Squadron and give
the team its first victory of the
season. This hard plugging elev-en
had the game coming to them
tor they have played inspired foot-ball
all season, not letting down at
all although the breaks have been
igainst them for the past few
games. It was a r o u g h game
throughout, and the officials let
many penalties slide by which
should have been inflicted.
Urick Plunges Over
It took exactly one minute and
a half for the Squadron to score
in the first quarter. Charlie Han-cock's
opening kick was fumbled
by Yerkes on the Indian 15 yard
mark and Johnny Penn recovered
l'or V. M, I. on the William and
Mary 21 marker. It was then
•Urick came forth to show
some fine ball toting by carryiny
the ball twenty-one yards in four
tries to tally. On the fourth try
he dived over center for the re-maining
yard. The try for extra
point by Hancock was wide. For
p. great part of the opening quar-ter
the pigskin was in Indian ter-litory,
although neither team was
able deeply to invade the terri-tory
of the other. Puffy Coleman
recovered a fumble of Bryant's
but the Keydets couldn't gain much
ground at that time. Bo-Bo Penn
stopped short a potential Indian
invasion when he intercepted Bry-ant's
pass on the V. M. I. 46 yard
stripe as the first quarter term-inated.
Indians Score
Before the second period had
progressed very far, the Keydets
had driven deeply into William and
Mary ground. Bo McMillin passed
